Coh Bris tew, of Kentucky, is the Attocney General,, vice Williams, ?8? The - Citizens'" Savings Bank of South Carolina has gone into, voluntary bankruptcy.

All Master Masons are enti? tled to return pickets,, which will be furnished Vy railroad agents esr the Grand Secretary. - IQr* The House of Representatives agreed to make the State tax payable in two instal? ments, but the amendment was stricken out on the (iiird reading of the tax bill. The taxes will be collected, therefore, at the usual time, and our readers may expect to hand over a considerable sum, for the support of this blessed government. - as - * Meeting of Congress. Congress met on Monday last, and the House of Representatives organized by re electing Speaker Blaine. The Democrats ?noted for Fernando Wood, of New York. Two hundred and ninety-two members an? swered to the roll, among them Alesander H. Stephens, of Georgia, who- was assigned a seat directly in front of the Speaker, on the Demo? cratic side of the aisle. Mr. Stephens is quite feeble, and attracts mach attention. The Pres? ident's annual Message was not read nntil Tuesday. _" _ Sons of Temperance. The Grand .'Division was in session at Col vmbia on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. The number of delegates in attendance was unusually large, we understand, and the temperance cause is represented as In a flour? ishing condition. Reports show the existence of sixty-one subordinate Divisions in this State, embracing a membership of three thousand persons, which is a gain of nearly one hundred per cent, during tho past year. Mr. John A. Elkin, of Columbia, was elected Grand Worthy Patriarch, and Mr. Oliver Hewitt, of Barn well, Grand Scribe. The next meeting will be held at Bennettsville on the fourth Wednesday in April next. _ Retrenchment and Economy. The Athens Watchman publishes the follow? ing resolutions, adopted by the lady members of Clarke County Grange, without a dissenting voice. We think it would be well to imitate this example throughout the country, and that the ladies should set their faces against foolish extravagance, which more frequently embar asses- husbands and fathers than is generally supposed. Plain and sensible fashions, adapt? ed to the means of each family, would do much ?jgfi relieve the financial pressure, and enable many an honest man to pay his debts. Here are .the resolutions, which we hope will please our lady readers: Resolved, That we believe the time has ar? rived for us to? discountenance all extravagance and abolish pride, and advocate, as far as lies m our power, everything thatt teoda to lead to economVand retrenchment. Rcsotoedt, That we pledge ourselves that we will not attempt to follow after the worldly fashions of the present day, believing that we have the right to introduce, or establish a fash? ion for ourselves. Our State Exchanges. The Newberry Herald has recently enlarged its dimensions, and otherwise added to the attractiveness of its columns. Our friend Greneker has likewise increased the editorial force by the addition of Ira B. Jones, Esq., as assistant editor. Good luck and prosperity to to the new arrangement. The Spartanburg Spartan an nounces the re? tirement of Co!. John H. Evins from its edi? torial management, and that Col. T. Stobo Farrow will succeed him. We part from Col. Evins with sincere regret, yet extend a cordial welcome to Col. Farrow, who returns to his native State with a determination to aid and assist in the restoration of her fallen fortunes. He has been a resident of Atlanta, Ga., for several years. The Chester Reporter has also changed its editor, our excellent friend Col. E. C. McLure emigrating to Texas. The State cannot afford to lose such true and staunch citizens as Col. McLure, who has wielded a vigorous pen in behalf of her best interests. He is succeeded by Brainerd McLure, Esq., in the editorial control of the Reporter, and we greet him upon his entrance into the quill-driving fra? ternity. Baptist State Convention. The fifty-third session of this body was held in Columbia last week. We learn that it was one of the largest and most interesting sessions of the Convention for many years. Rev. J. L. Reynolds, of Columbia, was elected President; Rev. J. K. Mendenhall, Vice President; 0. F. Gregory, Secretary ; A. W. Lamar, Assistant Secretary; Prof. C. H. Judson, Treasurer. The endowment of Furman University was among the principal topics of interest before the Convention, and we understand that the entire amount of $200,000 has been secured. Bonds to the amount of $150,000 had been obtained prior to the meeting, and the remaining $50,000 was pledged by delegates, who will undertake to obtain bonds from other persons to that amount. Rev. J. L. Reynolds has been elected a professor in the University, and the pros? pects of the institution were never brighter. Similar pledge were made to advance the prosperity of the Working Christian, which is the recognized organ of the denomination in this State, and which is being fostered with j more care than any kindred enterprise for a j long time. The present management of the paper deserves success, and should receive a j cordial support from the denomination. Other I matters of importance were discussed by the I Convention, but we are not in possession of the results. j TOWN AUD CQU2TCY ETEWS. Brief Mention of Local Incidents. During, fchft-nsonih of November, there were 2,793, bales of cotton skipped- from the Ander? son depot, of which amount 2,319 bales were purchased by the merchants, of this town. The annual communication of Hiram Lodge, Nov 68, A. F. M., will be holden on next Mon? day night, Sth of December, when the election ?f officers for the ensuing y ear will take place. The prettiest girl in Anderson will get mar? ried this winter, and numerous youths are mourning over the distressing fact, while the fortunate individual who won the prize is con? tinually smiling at his happy fate. Thursday last was a busy day in Anderson. Besides the attraction of the circus, there were over two hundred bales of ootton sold in this market, and the merchants were kept employed for the greater portion of the day. Mr. T. F. Wesson, who represents the house of Moore, Jenkins & Co., New York, was in our town this week, looking after his numerous customers in this latitude, and extending an already large acquaintance among our citizens generally. The regular meeting of Anderson Grange, No. 71, takes place to-morrow (Friday) at 10 o'clock. The annual election of officers for another year is among the business to come before this meeting, and it is hoped there will be a'full attendance of members. The attendance on saleday was rather mea? gre, but the public sales attracted much atten? tion, and the bidding for real estate was quite spirited occasionally. The crowd was orderly and well-behaved, which was in striking con? trast with several public gatherings recently. We give a report of the land sales in another place. Mr. C. G. Haddon, general agent of the Wheeler and Wilson Sewing Machine, has lo? cated in our town, and established his office at the jewelry store of Maj. Borstel, on Brick Range. Mr. Haddon is an energetic and go ahead man, and will take pleasure in exhibit? ing the merits of his excellent machine, which took the premium at the recent Anderson and Abbeville Fairs. The County Commissioners are urged to erect a free bridge over Seneca River, at some suitable crossing, which will best accommodate the inhabitants of the Fork generally. Should this be determined upon, we hope the Board will build a strong and substantial bridge, such as will be a credit to their administration and of lasting benefit to the County. It is extrava? gance and folly to build poor bridges, which have to be repaired every year or two. Burning of a Mill. On Sunday evening, about six o'clock, fire broke out iu Masters' Mill, located on the Brown's Ferry road, three miles southwest of Anderson, and had progressed so far when dis? covered that the building, together with the machinery and other contents, proved a total los3?with the exception of the water wheel, which was saved from destruction. Besides the mill and cotton gins destroyed, two bales of cotton are included in the total loss, which will not exceed $1,500. The origin of the fire is not positively known. The alarm created much excitement in town, and the ringing of the bells brought large numbers from their homes. For a time there was considerable uneasiness among some of our citizens, who own property iia that vicinity. Sales on Monday. Sheriff McGukin has kindly furnished us with the following report of sales on Monday last: Lands of Benjamin Holland, on waters of Beaverdatn Creek, sold under foreclosure us mortgage, at the suit of James Adger&Co., to wit: Tract No. 1, containing 250 acres, $1455; No. 2, containing 210 acres, $1205; No. 8, con? taining 271 acres, $1160; No. 4, containing 131 acres, $390. Total, $4,210. Real Estate of John B. Earle, decc .sed, sold for partition among the heirs, to wit: The Deep Creek plantation, containing 1350 acres, $8,400; the Shallow Ford Bridge tract, on Seneca River, containing 25 acres, and inclu? ding the toll bridge, $2,200. Real Estate of Mrs. Lucy Haddcn, deceased, sold for partition among the heirs, to wit: Lot No. 1, containing 122 acres, $880; No. 2, con? taining 121 acres, $1,015. One tract of land, containing 176 acres, sold as the real estate of Wm. Spencer Moore, de? ceased, for partition among the heirs, $1,480. One tract of land, containing 246 acres, sold as the real estate of John Warnock, deceased, for partition among the heirs, $2,500. Lot in the town of Anderson, containing one acre, sold as the property of John M. Partlow under execution, $280. The Great Eastern Circus and Menagerie. The mammoth show made its appearance in our town, according to previous announcement, at an early hour on Thursday morning last. The streets were thronged with people of all ages, sizes, and conditions in life, long before the time for the grand procession, and when the parade took place, there was an immense concourse on the public square. The crowd has been variously estimated, and we have heard many declare that it was tho largest gathering ever seen in Anderson. Our esti? mate is that there were between five and six thousand people present, but one of the show? men declared that the agent sold over seven thousand tickets for the afternoon perfor? mance. * The exhibition under the canvass is said to have been creditable, and in keeping with the extensive proportions of the outside display. Some were highly pleased with the perfor? mances, and others were thoroughly disgusted with the whole concern. There is no doubt that a portion of our citizens have reason to regret their attendance, as pickpockets were busy plying their avocation, and swindling schemes were numerous. The wheel of for? tune, three card monte, and other games of chance, were sedulously employed to entrap the by-standers, and fleece the innocent (?) vic? tims, who were seeking to obtain large profits from small investments. So long as the people continue to patronize and encourage these vil? lainies, the opportunity will always be afforded them to squander their hard earnings, for the great success of this exhibition will only in? duce others to visit Anderson hereafter.

"Tb'ire i?t'iat ?cattereth, aud yet increaseth ; und there it that wltbholdeth more than is moot, but it icruktA tu po vert y."?Proverbs. We congratulate the country that the excite? ment about a war with Spain is quietly sub? siding, and must commend the cautious and prudent manner in which the matter has been met and disposed of by the President and his Cabinet; for we hold that the worst use men and money can be put to is the sending the one to death and the expenditure of the other in powder and ball?except upon the greatest and direst necessity. Beit the serious question still recurs: What shall or ought Congress to do to relieve the country? Shall we return at once to a specie basis aud undergo the terrible shrinkage of j values in all property, the almost total destruc? tion of manufacturing interests, the want of j honest employment everywhere consequent thereon, the loss of revenue to the govern? ment, &c., or shall the government relax its now stringent rules as regards currency, and by reasonable expansion thus afford aid and relief | to all clashes and still maintain its credit, as many able financiers argue can be done ? The expenditure of a reasonable amount of J public money, on proper internal improvements^ may help tD develop the country and give em? ployment to many now idle and suffering; and in this view we commend the resolutions of? fered in the State Senate by Gen. Smalls, of j Beaufort, relating to the naval station at Port Royal and the construction of a railroad to the granaries of the West. SrAIN AND THE UNITED STATES.?The Louisville Courier-Journal comments as follows on the result of the peaceful negotiations be? tween Spain and the United States : "Our despatches report that Spain has finally yielded ail of the extravagant demands made upon her by the United States, and that peace is now assured. The Virginius is to be surren? dered and Burriel is to be tried by a Spanish tribunal. The concessions wrung from Spain have been obtained because of her torn and distressed condition. She could not afford war, and she has reluctantly yielded to terms which were not generous, but hard and relent? less in the extreme. There is no glory that can bo attached to those who have wrung such an apology from a cripple. We are glad that Eeace has been secured, but the result will ardly be comforting to those who have been anxious for war, and we venture the assertion that the President is to-day filled with regret instead of exultation,, Now, that the sensa? tion is over, let us turn our attention to home affairs, and devote ourselves to the work of | securing home reforms." ? Prof. A. S. Townes, a graduate of Fur raan University, has been elected President of j the Cherokee Baptist Female College, located at Rome, Ga., and will enter upon his duties oo the 5th of January next, , The Cuban Difficulty Settled. The annexed dispatch from Washington announces the peaceful termination of the difficulty between Spain and the United States, growing out of the capture of the Virginias and the slaughter of its officers and crew. The settlement is regarded as alike honorable to both countries, and vindicates the wisdom of exercising prudence and caution in the matter of arranging difficulties between nations The Spanish authorities are given ample opportu? nity for showing the true character of the Vir ginius, together with the objects and purposes of those on board, who met such a tragic fate at the hands of their captors. Much that is now hidden from the public gaze will be brought to light, and the sensational demand for war will be succeeded by a quiet conviction that President Grant and his Cabinet have maintained the true interests of the country in avoiding an unnecessary conflict with Spain We are glad the excitement is over, and trust the country will ieturn to the consideration of more advantageous and beneficial topics than war and bloodshed: Washington, Nov. 29. The negotiations between the United States and Spain with regard to the questions grow? ing out of the capture of the Virginius were brought to a conclusion to-day, Secretary Fish and Admiral Polo having agreed upon and signed a protocol, which the latter soon after telegraphed to his government. As conflicting statements have appeared in the newspapers regarding the intelligence received hist night, and also to-day, it can now be positively stated that the terms are substantially as follows : 1. The immediate delivery to the United States of the ship Virginius and all surviving passengers and crew. 2. A salute to our flag on the 25th of Decem? ber next, unless, in the meantime, Spain shall satisfy the United States that the American flag was improperly borne on that vessel; and further, that she had no right to the American flag or American papers; in this event, the salute i3 to be spontaneously withdrawn, and Spain is to formally disclaim any intentional indignity to the flag in the acts committed by Spain against the Virginius. 3. If it shall thus be shown the Virginius had no right to carry the American flag and papers, the United States will institute pro? ceedings against the vessel and the surviving parties, who have violated the laws of the United States, and Spain guarantees to insti? tute proceedings against any of her authorities who may have violated either law or treaty stipulations. 4. The matter of reclamation for damages is reserved for future consideration. In addition to the above, it can also be posi? tively stated that within the next two days Secretary Fish and the Spanish minister will determine the port at which the Virginius and the surviving passengers and crew shall be de? livered to the United States. The words "im? mediate release," as applicable to the delivery of the Virginius and passengers and crew, im? plies, of course, a reasonable time for its exe? cution, as some days must elapse before Havana and Santiago de Cuba can be reached. The agreement is regarded in official quar? ters as covering all the points of our original demand, though in a modified form ; which is considered respectful and houorable to both countries. The fixing of the 25th of Decem? ber as the time for saluting our flag is to allow the necessary opportunity for Spain to show the Virginius improperly carried the American flag and American papers. There is a sensible relief in all quarters that the negotiation has thus peaceably ended. Both Secretary Fish and Admiral Polo had for two weeks past been engaged in producing this result, on which they receive the congratulations of their re? spective friends. Showing up a Senator.?Dr. T. T. Moore, the brother-in-law of Senator John J. Patter? son, in a recent interview with the Columbia correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier, says that he is cognizant of the rascal? ly steps of Patterson's career, and that, in point of character, he is a swindler and cheat of the first water. He testifies to his own knowledge, that the statements in the New York Sun, showing him up, are true. He asserts, furthermore, that, while a paymaster in the United States army, during the winter of 1861-62, at Wheeling, Virginia, he defraud? ed the soldiers of an Ohio regiment out of $3,500; and that, continuing this swindling work upon the soldiers, he was finally rejected as paymaster by the Senate. Moore says that he was Patterson's private secretary at the time, and knows whereof he speaks. He further charges that Patterson tried to induce him (Moore) to forge ex-Comptroller Leaph art's name to certain State guaranteed bonds of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company. They could not be used for lack of the signature, and Patterson proposed to sup? ply it in this way. He represents Patterson as quaking with fear of an investigation into the facts of his election as Senator. In that election, Moore says that he did not hide his purpose to buy votes, and actually paid for them at prices varying from $150 to $1,000 each. These are damaging statements. If true, and sustained where they will have their full and legitimate effect, the private motives of personal resentment and malignity, which Moore does not deny influences him in making them, will be overlooked in their important bearing on the public interests and in their tendency to protect the public morals.?Phoe? nix. The Chicago Road?Charleston and Savannah.?Both these cities have suddenly waked up to the fact that a railroad is in con? templation from Chicago to the South Atlantic. Neither of them had a delegate in the conven? tion held in Chicago last month, but their editors read the proceedings?without publish? ing them, however. Since then a convention was held at Warm Springs, N. O, iu favor of a road from Lake Erie to the South Atlantic. In neither of these conventions were Charleston and Savan? nah alluded to as ports on the South Atlantic worthy of a moment's consideration as the terminus of a railroad whose purpose was to bring the products of the great West to the sea for shipment to foreign countries. Not a man in either convention thought of any other port than ours. Our neighboring cities would furnish to such a road valuable customers, they were connections tobe made as of course, just as it would bo well to interest Columbia in the road, and seek Augusta as a good distributing point. But Charleston and Savannah were no more considered as ports than Columbia or Augusta. When the time to subscribe for stock in the Chicago road comes, we have no doubt but that Charleston will be urged to give a helping hand. So will Savannah. We hope they will do so; they ought to do so, for although neith? er of them have tho harbor for which the west is seeking, yet they cannot fail to be benefitted by the connection. But just as sure as the Chicago road is built it will come- through Rabun Gap to Anderson, thence to Augusta and Port Royal.?Port Royal Commercial. THE MARKETS. anderson, Doc. 3, 1873.
